Mission and Core Values

The MCI Mission:


MCI engages a multicultural student body with diverse abilities and interests in a rigorous and comprehensive college and career preparatory experience. In a safe and nurturing environment, students develop self-esteem, academic skills, and social responsibility to be thoughtful global citizens and lifelong learners.

Core Values:


Community and Family:

The sense of community and family, not only within the school itself, but also in the greater community, is a critical value of the school.

Comprehensiveness:

MCI is a comprehensive school open to those who choose to attend and experience skill-based learning opportunities in and out of the traditional classroom setting.

Diversity:

The school deeply values the diverse makeup of its school community and encourages the continuing effort to bring individuals from every possible cultural and/or economic background to the school. Thus, the school is truly able to celebrate the diversity of the world.

Focus on the Individual:

The people at MCI focus on each student to ensure that every person grows academically, socially and physically with the skill set to be global citizens.

Independence:

MCI’s status as an independent school founded in 1866 can be discovered in its programs and alumni.

Standards of Excellence:

A high level of rigor and expectation of excellence in all components of the school’s operation is critical, whether that be the academic program, the boarding program, the co-curricular activities or the overall support system at the school.
